- Develop and implement effective corrective and preventative actions.
- Prepare, review, and approve FAIRs (First Article Inspection Reports) in accordance with customer and aerospace requirements.
- Support the introduction of new products through First Article Inspection and production approval processes.
- Review engineering drawings, specifications, and customer requirements to establish appropriate inspection and quality requirements.
- Support PFMEA, Control Plans, and process risk assessments.
- Investigate non-conforming product, identifying appropriate containment, rework, and corrective actions.
- Work directly with production and engineering teams to identify and eliminate recurring quality problems.
- Monitor quality performance, trends, scrap, rework, and customer complaints.
- Conduct internal, process, and product audits.
- Support supplier quality activities, including investigation of supplier non-conformances.
- Liaise with customers and suppliers on technical and quality-related issues where required.
- Ensure corrective actions are implemented, documented, and verified for effectiveness.
